Laid-Back Life in Tokyo: I Really Didn't Want to Work Hard Chapter 448 - 317: Hanamaru Family, Hanamaru Yasushin

In the morning, Hanamaru Hanabi was in the bedroom helping him arrange his clothes.

All of Uesugi Sakura’s clothes were bought by her, and there was nothing bad about that.

Apart from being slightly expensive, the style and size suited him well.

With Hanamaru Hanabi as an art student, she could always pair nurous different yet very beautiful outfits on him.

Won always understand choosing clothes better than n, which is indeed true.

At least when Uesugi Sakura went out to buy clothes, he never thought about what matched; as long as the clothes could be worn, it was enough.

"We’ve only been dating for two years, but every day feels like we’re an old married couple—when I leave, you help organize my clothes; when I co ho, you’ve already prepared the food. When the key turns in the lock, you’re there at the entrance saying ’Welco ho’ to ."

Hanamaru Hanabi’s hands lowered from the lapel of his clothes and folded gently in front of her skirt.

"Only two years of romance...but Sakura-kun and Hanabi have grown up together since childhood..."

"I know, childhood sweethearts, right?"

Uesugi Sakura smiled and took her small hand, the soft touch radiating warmth.

"It’s rare for childhood sweethearts to end up together, so I want to cherish this readily available relationship even more. I thought we would quietly get married in three months, but unexpectedly, there are still so troubles."

Hanamaru Hanabi proactively held his hand. Although her grip was weak, she didn’t avoid his gaze.

"Sakura-kun...wherever it is...as long as Hanabi has Sakura-kun by her side, it’s enough..."

Her voice was faint, but it held an underlying strength amidst the weakness.

She wanted to give him confidence, to tell him her most genuine yet shy thoughts aloud.

"Those words are more than enough." Uesugi Sakura extended his hand, pulling her into an embrace, not for any reason, just a desire to hold her.

Hanamaru Hanabi leaned her face against him, blushing with shyness yet feeling at peace.

Outside the door, little Aei curiously watched the older brother and sister embracing in the room, muttering about how embarrassing it was.

...

"Here, the banana. Did you pack your lunch?"

Uesugi Sakura helped her arrange her backpack, handing her the banana.

"I did." Aei took the banana from her brother with both hands, peeled it, and began eating with her small mouth.

She wore the school uniform of Shirooka Elentary, with mandatory white socks, and the hat was optional.

Aei often wore a hat, which reminded Uesugi Sakura of when Hanabi was young, also small, often wearing a hat, always attracted by flowers and butterflies on the way to school...

There were too many mories, but back then, she was much more subdued than Aei.

From elentary school onwards, kids no longer needed parents to take them, usually going to school with classmates.

Little Hanabi didn’t have many friends, only going to school with Uesugi.

It was always Uesugi who went to look for her, and she liked to sleep in, always feeling very shy and embarrassed when leaving the house every day.

She followed him, and the two walked the school route through elentary, middle, and high school together.

Now, sending Aei and Chiaei out, seeing the familiar uniforms on them, it seed like seeing shadows of the past, bringing much sentint.

"Brother, Sister Hanabi, Aei and I are heading out first."

"Goodbye Brother~ Goodbye Sister~"

"Mm, goodbye."

"Rember to eat more, Aei, and don’t eat so many snacks."

Once the two little girls were on the road, Uesugi Sakura turned to Hanamaru Hanabi and said, "You loved snacks when you were young, why talk about Aei now."

"Hanabi’s just reminding..."

Uesugi Sakura smiled calmly and said, "People inevitably repeat themselves. When we were kids, we often said we’d treat our future children well, but when it cos to it, we still teach them as needed."

"Aei and Chiaei are very good, no need for lectures..."

"I know that, but what if our child is very naughty and you spoil him? Nevertheless, I’ll educate when necessary."

"Will you spank him...?"

"I’ll spank his bottom if he doesn’t listen."

"Sakura-kun... better not..."

"See, the child isn’t even here yet, and you’re already feeling sorry." Uesugi Sakura chuckled, knowing that Hanabi was soft-hearted, "Hanabi, you’re not really going to spoil the child, right?"

"I won’t."

"I think you will." Uesugi Sakura glanced at his phone, then continued, "Alright, your uncle is coming soon, get ready to see your grandfather."

"I really won’t, Hanabi listens to Sakura-kun."

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you."

"It’s listening to Sakura-kun."

"Listening to , I’ll still think you’ll spoil him."

"I won’t."

"I think you will."

"Really, I won’t!"

In such a playful banter, Uesugi Sakura didn’t even feel the impending crisis of canceling the engagent with Hanabi.

Probably because daily interactions were so plain; as long as they kept talking, they could forget all their worries.

The two continued debating over whether they would spoil the child. Uesugi thought they would, while Hanabi thought she wouldn’t. After a while, Hanamaru Yugetsu drove a big Benz to the corner, poked his head out the window, hanging his hand on the car door, and said,

"Alright, stop flirting about kids. The wedding isn’t even done, get in the car."

When the uncle said this, Hanamaru Hanabi, who didn’t feel anything before, now felt a little shy.

The two got in the car together, with Uesugi Sakura sitting in the passenger seat.

The uncle’s clothing style was always youthful, and Uesugi Sakura felt he was no different from peers, making chatting very easygoing.
